Velma M Norton, age 91, of Springfield, MO passed away Monday, March 27, 2017 at Woodland Manor. She was born August 23, 1925 in Pleasant Hope, MO.
Velma was a homemaker and devoted loving wife, she was a loving and caring mother. She was saved at an early age and was a dedicated and active member of Rock Prairie Missionary Baptist Church. She loved and cherished all of her children, grandchildren and friends. Velma enjoyed family, or anything that included family or sometimes extra friends for Sunday dinners or holidays. Or maybe just having everyone over for dinner and homemade ice cream, after swimming in the creek. She will truly be missed by all, but Heaven is her home now, and some glorious day we will all join her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband William Norton, two sons: Ricky and Terry Norton, a grandson Robert Cowan and a great grandson Mark Norton.
